MAGILL, Circuit Judge.
Larry Smith was the police chief of Elaine, Arkansas, when Charles Otey was killed by an Elaine police officer. The administrator of Otey’s estate brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) suit against Chief Smith, alleging that Chief Smith had failed to supervise and train the officer who had killed Otey. Chief Smith moved the district court for summary judgment on the ground of qualified immunity, and the district court denied the motion. Chief Smith now appeals the district court’s denial of summary judgment, and we reverse.
